CNC China Machining: start with a large solid block and remove material to create your part.
3D Printing/Rapid China Prototyping: create the part by binding loose material layer by layer.

Two great tastes that taste great together.

I See Sea Shells by the Sea Shore

Image by ** Lucky Cavey **
A seashell or sea shell, also known simply as a shell, is a hard, protective outer layer created by an animal that lives in the sea. The shell is part of the body of the animal. Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches by beachcombers. The shells are empty because the animal has died and the soft parts have been eaten by another animal or have rotted out.

The term seashell usually refers to the exoskeleton of an invertebrate (an animal without a backbone). Most shells that are found on beaches are the shells of marine mollusks, partly because many of these shells endure better than other seashells.

Apart from mollusk shells, other shells that can be found on beaches are those of barnacles, horseshoe crabs and brachiopods. Marine annelid worms in the family Serpulidae create shells made of calcareous tubes cemented onto other surfaces. The shells of sea urchins are called tests, and the moulted shells of crabs and lobsters are called exuviae. While most seashells are external, some cephalopods have internal shells.

Seashells have been admired, studied and used by humans for many different purposes throughout history and pre-history. But seashells are not the only kind of shells. In a variety of habitats it is possible to find shells from freshwater animals such as freshwater mussels and freshwater snails, and it is also possible to find shells from land snails. – Wiki

(For those that are good at spotting fine details, you’ll see that actually it wasn’t taken by the sea at all, but I liked the title)

Kingsville, TX Residents Now Have Access to CEREC Technology for Custom Crown and Inlay Fittings, Through Dr. Tilman Richards

Kingsville, TX Residents Now Have Access to CEREC Technology for Custom Crown and Inlay Fittings, Through Dr. Tilman Richards


Kingsville, TX (PRWEB) August 14, 2014

Dr. Tilman Richards now provides dental care for Kingsville, TX patients that helps people have new shining smiles and improved oral health in a simple office visit. Leading the way with exciting technologies that are changing how dentistry is done, Dr. Richards uses an advanced technology called CEREC® to create custom crowns and inlays made of ceramic material. All the equipment for the procedure is in his office, so patients leave the visit with a permanent new smile, not a temporary crown to be replaced at a later date.

The process starts with a detailed digital image of the tooth that is to be repaired. There is no mold with unpleasant gooey material, as in traditional crown and inlay procedures. Dr. Richards next works with the computer to guide the CEREC® machine on the precise dental specifics of the crown that is required. Next, a solid ceramic block, in a shade matching the patient’s teeth, is placed into the China milling machine.

The machine follows the plan from the image and Dr. Richards’s input, and mills the ceramic piece down to the size and shape of the new crown. After checking and adjusting the fit and bite of the new crown, Dr. Richards affixes it in place. In just one visit, a patient can have a new permanent crown to replace an old or damaged filling, using natural ceramic material rather than dangerous metals and toxic fillings.

Providing the type of dental care the Kingsville, TX area patients appreciate, Dr. Richards performs a wide variety of services for dental needs. From cosmetic improvements for his patients’ smiles to gum disease treatment, Dr. Richards delivers an outstanding level of service for each patient.

Learn more about the CEREC® procedure on the web at http://www.corpus-christi-dentist.com. Call the office at (361) 238-2373 for details on all the dental care services available to Kingsville patients at the office of Tilman Richards, DDS.
